In Fact: Is smog suffocating China?
Manage episode 446948845 series 2801302
So there used to be this term called 'airpocalypse' in China, a decade ago. In 2016, The New York Times even ran a piece about the issue dramatically titled: 'Life in China, Smothered by Smog.'
A decade later, an unprecedentedly short period for a nation of its GDP and size, China has brought these blue skies - cleaner air - across the country. Since 2013, the peak of the airpocalypse era, China has grown its GDP by 121 percent, claimed it's eradicated poverty in the nation, and reduced PM 2.5 small particulate matter in its air by 57 percent. How did they do it?
In Fact with Kyle Obermann, a groundbreaking series from CGTN, delves into one of the world's most debated environmental topics: China's environmental record and its global impact.
